Today is David Graeber's birthday. He'd have been 65 years old today.

His ideas are still here and his message is more important than ever before which must remind us that a better world is possible.

Every person deserves to have the means to be independent and have the autonomy to take care of their own needs.

Community and building support for each other is so meaningful, but being at the mercy of others to survive, no one wants if its not a choice.
This is why we need UBI.

No one should ever have to deal with the stress of grocery shopping and having to evaluate what’s the lowest per oz cost.

I stg it’s one the most punitive feelings when you know how rich other mfers are.

WA state has one of the worst tax systems in the country. Teachers, nurses, & small business owners pay a higher income tax rate than wealthy folks.

Patriotic Millionaire Victoria Hattersly explains why a proposed Millionaires Tax is a first step toward restoring fairness.

How do you think you'd prove or report that your job was fully or partially disrupted by automation?

Elon Musk could get a trillion-dollar payout while 42 million Americans watched their turn into SNAP benefits political pawns during the government shutdown. That’s not a system, that’s a moral collapse.

No matter how hard people try to convince us having empathy is wrong,

it is right.

No matter how hard people try to convince us that diversity is a weakness,

it is a strength.

No matter how hard people try to convince us that love is limited,

it is unlimited.

β€œThere’s too many Americans on SNAP!”

Yes there are. Too many corporations refuse to pay a living wage.

Huge companyies are encouraging their employees to apply for SNAP because they don’t pay them enough to survive.

The government encourages this & then blames the poor.

UNTIL IT’S DONE, Ep. 5: Vito Marcantonio

There are many who dismiss our vision for New York as impossible. To them, I say we need look only to our past for proof of how we can shape the future.

Tomorrow is Election Day. And this is the final Until It's Done of our campaign.

Many think poverty is an individual failure, but it’s really a societal one. It’s a shared responsibility we keep avoiding

The irony is that wealth is treated as individual success, even though it depends on society itself

Wealth reveals the nature of our own humanity & #UBI becomes a moral right

Can’t wait for the next Sims expansion pack! I hear it’ll have a plantation home template, a ton of new nazi memorabilia, a trad wife aspiration track, and you can date children! But it will delete all your other expansion packs

I want mutual aid to be a practice of sharing of resources that sustains us and lifts people up…
..but I want basic income so that there isn’t a perpetual state of need they’re forced to navigate

They deserve the fairness of and autonomy of income security.
they deserve to not always be in need.

Or if you are chasing material needs without cash involved, you’re spending tons of labor tracking, connecting, sourcing, and coordinating a material that if you had money you could almost instantly buy.

There’s many in need struggling to build security for the future, but burn through it too fast to survive through the present based on how incremental mutual aid and charity can be.

Because you’re chasing $20, $100, $5, $10, $200 over and over and over without any predictability.

We already see with gofundme how distribution becomes unfair and unjust

Thousands get ignored or barely slog to their goal while hundreds can catch fire and exceed expectations.

The need is too great. I don’t think the numbers add up for individuals to find stability unless a commitment of security is being offered by a strong secure group of individuals to make and keep someone who to the point they break through their lower class.

Mutual aid is an absolutely important tool for community care and instills a practice of collective care disrupting individualism

But it’s not sustainable unless it becomes massively mainstream in practice and massive upper class start distributing to many many individuals.
